Now my second husband is a THURMAN. Been needing to get in contact with you on that we are looking for the parents of ELIJAH THURMAN of SIMPSON CO Mississppi, dont you have a THURMAN line as well in Mississippi???? Also there are some MCNAIRS in Simpson County. What I am getting at here is there a possible connetion. I know some of the GATES that are tied with this line came to PENSACOLA, FL. Also there was a MCNAIR that led Confederated troups during the Civil WAR. And a GATES the came to Pensacola and lead troups back to Mississippi. What a small world. Sharon A. Thurman >> Many families have conections to Newton Co, MS and Escambia Co, FL. I do have numerous THURMAN and McNAIR in MS. I've just picked out two. Sherrod HORN born about 1762 married Martha Patricia (Patsy) Thurman. I don't know the parents of this THURMAN, do you? Sherrod HORN and Martha Patricia (Patsy) Thurman had son Needham HORN. Needham HORN was in Simpson County, MS. Needham's descendants were in Newton County, MS. Charles McNAIR married Betty McMULLAN. They were also in Newton Co, MS. The McMULLAN line of Newton Co, MS also connects to Escambia Co, FL. later, mona
